With very few books adequately addressing ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, and other international code issues, Pressure Vessels: Design and Practice provides a comprehensive, in-depth guide on everything engineers need to know. With emphasis on the requirements of the ASME this consummate work examines the design of pressure vessel com
Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition of the best-selling MEMS Handbook is now presented as a three-volume set that offers state-of-the-art coverage of microelectromechanical systems. Through chapters contributed by top experts and pioneers in the field, MEMS: Design and Fabrication presents a comprehensive look at the materials, procedures, tools, and techniques of MEMS fabrication. New chapters in this edition examine the materials and fabrication of polymer microsystems and optical diagnostics for investigating the entrance length in microchannels. Rigorous yet accessible, this volume provides the practical knowledge needed for work in cutting-edge MEMS applications.
“A conscious, caring, curious community converged, and the energy was electric. We stretched into new ideas and supported each other in our shared values and commitment. I found it an honour and a privilege to offer and receive in our time together.” share our time.” – Glenda H. Eoyang, PhD, Founding Executive Director, Human Systems Dynamics Institute “Participating in ABS was about meeting the tribe of those who want to contribute to the world in meaningful ways. The knowledge and ideas flowed as effortlessly as the love and comradery. The IdeaSplash Flash invited us to share the essence of our ideas in a compelling way. In doing that, we looked at our own innovation with a fresh...
In 1997, Dr. Kaw introduced the first edition of Mechanics of Composite Materials, receiving high praise for its comprehensive scope and detailed examples. He also introduced the groundbreaking PROMAL software, a valuable tool for designing and analyzing structures made of composite materials. Updated and expanded to reflect recent advances in the
This book explores the levels of cooperation and the phenomenon of convergence among BRICS nations. It provides an in-depth look into the financial and banking systems among these rapidly developing economies and the steps they have taken to foster development and counter inequalities. Of the many factors in determining the income and wealth of a country as well as a group of countries, commercial bank credit, a well-known financial indicator, has been an important one. This book analyses the governance and structure of the New Development Bank and its effects on group members for peer growth and to defend against any external economic and political shocks. It looks at how much of an influence the commercial bank credit, or simply the credit, has upon the income levels of the BRICS member countries, how equitable they are, whether they are converging in credits and incomes, and other such issues. It also focuses on India’s credit aspects of inclusiveness and convergence. With a strong empirical model estimation, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of economics, finance, management, political studies, international relations, and international trade.
Energy Efficiency in the Urban Environment is a study of energy crisis, urbanisation, and climate change, as well as a discussion of how to combat these global challenges. With a special focus on Egypt, this book addresses the macroscale of urbanism from the perspective of city dwellers' quality of life, and explores the microscale of buildings and
Papers presented at the National Seminar on "Tyres in Mining and Allied Sectors : Status and Outlook", held at Dhanbad in 2003.
Completely revised and updated, Principles of Sustainable Energy Systems, Second Edition presents broad-based coverage of sustainable energy sources and systems. The book is designed as a text for undergraduate seniors and first-year graduate students. It focuses on renewable energy technologies, but also treats current trends such as the expanding use of natural gas from fracking and development of nuclear power. It covers the economics of sustainable energy, both from a traditional monetary as well as from an energy return on energy invested (EROI) perspective. The book provides complete and up-to-date coverage of all renewable technologies, including solar and wind power, biological proce...
In the current push to convert to renewable sources of energy, many issues raised years ago on the economics and the difficulties of siting energy storage are once again being raised today. When large amounts of wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources are added to existing electrical grids, efficient and manageable energy storage becomes a
